Welcome to another edition of Friday! This Friday is so much more glorious than the last because we finally have a couch to lounge on, and that makes movie night SO MUCH BETTER! Even if we will have to watch the Peanuts Christmas movie yet again 😉

What are you up to this weekend? I’ll be working on our living room, trying to find some pretty things for this space. One thing I’ve been struggling with is curtains. I had always imagined flowy white drapes (they just scream country to me), but now that I’ve gotten a glimpse, I’m just not sure. Hung high or low, long drapes seem to distract from the millwork. Perhaps no curtains at all is the answer (like Julia mentioned in last week’s podcast). Or maybe something simpler like roman shades. What do you think?!

Hmmmmm….

One ‘behind the blog’ item I wanted to share with you today is that I’ve started using some affiliate links. For those of you who don’t know, affiliate links are customized links to products that we use or love. Those links allow this blog to receive a small commission when the item is purchased. Affiliate links won’t affect what I use/recommend and don’t affect how much you pay for the item, so they seem like a win-win in my book…and a good first step towards making this blog profitable, a goal I set for the Grit and Polish last November.
